Out of the complete line of QuickBooks versions available, QuickBooks Enterprise software is the most recent member to the family and arguably, the most sophisticated of the group. Although the interface looks much the same as QuickBooks Pro and QuickBooks Premier, and in many cases, is similar in functionality, what is actually hidden under the hood is a much more superior and complex software.
Targeted toward small and mid-range business accounting applications, QuickBooks Enterprise takes Pro and Premier to a whole new level by increasing the user limits to 30 people logged in simultaneously, upping the file capacity by over 10x, and then adding in new features like pricing, inventory management, and reporting flexibility. Although the QuickBooks Enterprise is built as a “desktop installationâ€, it can very easily be adapted to be hosted in the cloud or on an internal network to allow for remote access.

Due to it’s popularity, QuickBooks Enterprise has literally thousands of 3rd party, “bolt on” applications and integrations that allow you to add to the core version of the software . Everything from time tracking, CRM, and integrated payments have been developed that allow you to customize the software for your needs or more industry specific applications.
